Spell Echo

Self casters have needed this for a long time. Can't believe it took this long.

Not really, spell-casters needed a fix from the bottom up, not a band-aid.

DW got a band-aid as well.
The "real" changes would probably require a lot of work, so they chose the band-aids. I hope that is the case.
I'm really interested in how things will develop in 1-2 years.

It's tricky to do much else considering buffing spell damage directly affects CoC builds and crit in general.

I'd prefer a band-aid to having nothing at all, but I see your point.

+1 for Spell Echo, I'm a fan.

Lots of stuff in this game needs a fix from the bottom up, oh well. I'll take a band aid over nothing.

peace,.... oh wait people can see my name a few inches to the right so it would be silly and kind of weird to sign my name.

Buff spell damage.
Nerf CoC.
PROFIT?

I also agree that self-casters need a buff, but at the same time i'm against whe way GGG desided to do so. They just added another "multistrike" - the mandatory gem for almost every skill that is able to use it. Mandatory gems (in my opinion) ruin whole gem-links system.

Hi it's mister aura lol. Ok so as a pure aoe spell caster does anyone else find it really annoying that echo is a gem and not a aura.

I find that for aoe spells like storm call fire storm and glacial cascade I need my gems that I use conc aoe, Inc aoe, faster casting, penetration, proliferation, added cold or lighting, Inc critical, Inc crit multi, mana leech life leech.

Now I'm like oh crap echo helps so much. so now I need to remove one of the need gems.

Also again as I have said before it would of added to the tiny tiny Tiny spell caster aura pool

Spell echo is bandaid sure (but it is nice). Casters really needed a boost. Too bad that because of CoC boost to casting has to be done throug ha workaround that might be detrimental because of how the skills in the game work, we simply have a shortage of links constantly.

In lite of it, I would like to request a bandaid for strenght casters - iron will keystone. Now that we have another mandatory spell support, iron will casters are far behind int casters. Not only we have no access to crit, but now we can't even support our spells as well as int casters can.

Although it will make my absolute favourite uniqe pretty bad. Doon is best designed unque, too bad it gets worse and worse as the game is updated.

I don't know that str casters should be on an even footing as spell casters but i would much rather have iron will as a keystone and not a gem. Iron grip gem should be removed as well.

Yeah, indeed, Iron Will should be a keystone too, and gems, that provide "keystone bonuses" (Point Blank, Iron Grip, Iron Will) should be seriously revised, to be a real option, not some kind of junk. Like Blood Magic gem does it well.
